Brandt Now Owns the Plant

It’s official: Brandt Group of Companies now owns the former Kongskilde Industries plant north of Normal. The agriculture equipment manufacturer based in Canada plans to eventually bring up to 500 jobs to the Hudson facility. The Pantagraph reports more than 1,000 people have applied to work at the Brandt plant, which is expected to employ between 50 and 70 when production picks up again, probably in early March.
